Augmenting Martyrs Trust Fund
by Semir Seid | Everyone supports the families of fallen heroes in Eritrea. The artist, using his lyrics, sympathises with the families of martyrs, encourages and admires them. Organizations give their moral and financial support, the general public pays emotional tribute, individuals help in any way they can and the government does its part as a policy, not only on June 20, but throughout the calendar year.Every citizen accepts supporting the families of fallen heroes as a national and personal obligation. June 20, the national official day to pay tribute to the fallen heroes, was made the official day to commemorate Eritrea’s fallen heroes, because, that day in 1982 marked the end of the sixth and most extensive Ethiopian offensive resulting in the highest number of martyrdom.
